Plagiarism and Reliable Sources

but there are ways to go around plagiarism. Just read the information and put it into your own words, it's that easy! It might take longer but you'll still get a good grade (in school) and you wont get sued (adults!)

Good example of deliberate plagiarism, Plumpkins!

Intentional plagiarism carries a much stricter and swifter penalty than accidental. Taking out a section of someone's work, paraphrasing into your own words, and "forgetting" to add the parenthetical notes is actually much easier to find than you realize. Any person can peruse through the essay/thesis/what-have-you and realize "hey, this guy seems to know a lot about [insert subject here] without any assistance!" And it also takes a lot less to figure out that said plagiarist does not have a works-cited page stapled to the back of the "work".

It's simply easier to not be lazy, no offense.

No matter what happens, plagiarism is wrong. Taking someone else's credit and claiming for one's own will treat that person unfair. If i do have to use someone else's work, I will give them credit in the Works Cited Page, footnotes, or citations.

I think we can safely say that if it's for a grade 10 history assignment due the next morning (and you haven't started, rather you are on armour games replying to threads), then you can plagiarize one or two sentences. There is almost a ZERO percent chance of your history teacher being the original author of the work. Here's a quote that I wrote. (See what I did there? Plagiarism :P)

"Plagiarism saves time. If in doubt, plagiarize"

That's thing, I think that most people have plagiarised at least once in our life. Examples are: stealing lame jokes from other people in social situations and pretending they're your own so others will admire you, putting plagiarized quotes in your essays for good marks, etc. As long as they're not very widely known, you could distribute it as your original idea and get away with it easily. Actually, my own view is that a little plagiarism is not harmful. There are worse things then plagiarising, as the only real effect that plagiarising has is annoyance that your friend got a better grade then you, or disappointment that your star student copied your someone else's work. After all-- Plagiarism: it's YOUR CHOICE. Risk for reward?

Sorry for the double post, I should have stated that I read the quote from a book somewhere, so I'm not really sure where it came from. But that's the thing, it's so hard NOT to plagiarize as most of ideas come from others anyway, which could be considered a very minor form of plagiarizing (stealing other's ideas).
